There are a lot of other businesses outside the startup bubble.

And let's go ahead and ignore just how unfair Manifest Destiny was to begin with and even more recently Mexican Repatriation.

Your reference is irrelevant because it doesn't break down by country and you are pulling exactly the equivocation BS I just demonstrated OP was doing. Please reread my comment if you don't understand why you cannot justify current immigration policy by pointing at immigration averages or totals without reference to country.

The statistic from SBA includes _ALL_ immigrants, including those you seem to despise.

I think the argument he was posing was that those statistics are carried by immigrants who won't be affected by the policies in discussion.

When you say it includes all immigrants, do you mean it includes the groups that would be affected when isolated from the rest, or overall?
